When we win I read about how we can compete with anyone in the league and when we lose we are an embarrassment to the NFL.
This is the new nfl. There aren't going to be many 14-2 or 13-3 teams in the League anymore.
It gets tired around here when there is a collective bipolar overreaction every week.
When we win it's about how donnell is the next jimmy graham and how we are going to be 13-3 and not 7 days later people are talking about firing a head coach.
Maybe we are just a middle of the road team like 28 of the 32 teams in the nfl capable of blowing out division rivals at home and getting blown out at a division rivals stadium.
I'm all about making suggestions and discussing things that we believe should be done but it's so feast or famine around here that it gets weird.
I really don't se how any fan could be stoic throw that.
How bout laughable?
Listen to Shep, the funniest man on BBI, it's not collective, it's a collection of a whole lot of Giant fans.
Worse place to watch a Giants game, is with a whole lot of Giant fans.
There's maybe 25 posters that know what they are talking about, 12 of them don't post anymore. Gather the information that's useful, ignore the rest and start an interesting NFT...
What an exquisite pity that you're not counted among their number.
But that was obvious...

He was referring to people who knew football. We cant count Rocky towards that list, since you know, he doesnt the difference between a football and a futball.
Your 15 minutes are up dude, slink back into the non knowing, you're out of your league here...

Not being your league is a good thing. There arent as many as pathetic as you. You're in the mold of bossman and the simos.

Does it ever give you what you intend to post?
As a moonlighting bouncer for 7 years, 30 minutes south of Camp Lejuene, never met a marine I couldn't toss out on his ass...

Yes, I'm sure auto correct turned an actual word, Nantucket, into nonexistent gibberish, Nanticket.
who'd make rivals beg out for mercy
These games they would win
Thank you Eli and Coughlin
we'll see you two in Canton, surely.
There once was a team called the GIants
as reliable as an old appliance
you'd think they were stout
then they'd get shut out
and look like '08 Lions
As for Fewell's gem of a game plan what a mess. Carl Banks talked on his radio spot about them being undisciplned throughout the game. If that was the case wouldn't you think Fewell could see that and make the correction. And If you look at the Eagle defensive game plan it really played havoc on the Giant offense. They were willing to do things differently to screw the offense up.
When do you ever see Fewell have a game plan like that. When his defenses are being had it's like a snowball going down hill and he is never able to stop it. It's the hallmark of his tenure as DC. I don't know how he is still employed by the Giants.

I don't see why this is so hard to understand. We all lament a loss, but this went way beyond your garden variety loss. It was such an embarrassment of ineptitude that it results in reasonable concern about what it potends for the rest of the season. Of course a win in Dallas will change that perspective ... it should. It would mean that this was an aberration, not that BBI is bi-polar. But that won't keep our arm chair psychologists from their pronouncements.
Thus, you get posts that either completely dismiss the teams chances to win and when a win happens, it is only because the other team fucked up, was playing a backup QB, or some other lame excuse.
Meanwhile, you get posts that think the Giants are going to win every week, and when they don't, it wasn't because we played a better team, but because we fucked up, either with bad coaching, bad drafting, or bad players.
I wish more people would realize that other teams sometimes make plays. I remember a game a few years back where a Redskins TE made a spectacular catch. The ball was snatched out of the air with an awesome effort. Did people post that it was a great catch? No. They bitched about the slow ass LB covering him. They bitched about Fewell's scheme that allowed the TE's free reign. They bitched about Coughlin continuing to keep Fewell around.
What bothers me is I thought TC had done a fantastic job coaching this year, until Sunday.Sunday makes me rethink a lot of things. It's not a run of the mill loss.Trying not to over react but after Sunday I don't feel optomistic about this year anymore, I think a lot of people feel that way, after having so much optimism leading up to the game.
I like to look ahead to the next game. If a different outcome in the next game is likely to sway your opinion of the team right back again, then maybe things aren't as bleak as one is tempted to feel at the moment.
Going into the season, I thought we'd be a six to nine win team - a wide range to begin with, and I thought the floor could be lower. After week 2, I really thought this was a four win team - an average football team should have beaten the Cards that day (they were missing four or five defenders and had a backup QB). After the win streak, we played well enough that ten would be realistic. After getting demolished by a good team in the Eagles, I'm starting to think seven or eight wins is the likely scenario on the season. Win this week and that may move up.
We haven't beat a quality team (with their starting QB) in quite some time. The next five games will be interesting. Win two and we have a shot at the playoffs. Win three and I think we have a really good shot given our late November/December schedule.
Point being: I think there's reasons behind some of the extremes we see this year. Of course, some (most?) are just being idiots.
Exactly. If they aren't emotionally involved then they wouldn't be fans would they? Fan - short for fanatic. You expect fanatics to be middle of the road sort of people?
